About Square and Round बहुकार्यात्मकम् आसनम्
"स्क्वेयर् एण्ड् राउण्ड्" इति भूर्जकाष्ठेन (बीच्-काष्ठेन) ऐक्रिलिक्-द्रव्येण च निर्मितं बहुकार्यात्मकम् आसनम् अस्ति। पारदर्शकं ऐक्रिलिक्-पृष्ठम् आन्तरिकां काष्ठसंरचनां प्रकटयति। एकेन प्रकारेण स्थापितं सत् तत् पृष्ठं लघु आसनं भवति। विपर्यस्तं कृतं सत् तदेव पृष्ठं पार्श्वपीठिका भवति, यस्यां कुञ्चिकाः अन्यानि लघुवस्तूनि च धारयितुं गर्तः विद्यते। अवयवाः पारम्परिकया द्विगुण-कपोतपुच्छ-कीलक-संरचनया संयोजिताः सन्ति, अतः धातुसंयोजकाः न प्रयुक्ताः। पिधानकीलके लब्धे सति आसनं हस्तेन विभक्तुं शक्यते। समतल-संवेष्टनं परिवहन-आयतनं न्यूनीकरोति।
